Florida Real Estate Sales can be an extremely rewarding career. As a Sales Associate, you are essentially your own boss, but with a manager who makes sure you have plenty of support. Your earning power is unlimited and you can set your own hours. If you have great people skills, a proven sales ability, consider yourself to be a self-starter and the idea of becoming an entrepreneur appeals to you, you just might want to consider a career in real estate. Beyond just selling houses, today’s real estate profession offers a number of different career choices, each focusing on a different aspect of the business. For anyone interested in breaking in to real estate sales, the first step is to get licensed. The licensing exam is actually the culmination of a training course, and includes both general and state-specific information. Once you obtain your license, you must go to work for either a commercial or residential agency, as a real estate agent. You cannot sell real estate on your own until you are a licensed broker. As an agent, your job will be to represent the seller and find a buyer for his or her home. Commercial real estate agents represent business owners selling or leasing office buildings, stores, malls and other types of commercial property. A successful agent will learn as much as he or she can about the potential buyer and match his or her needs with appropriate property. Knowing what the customer wants and how much he or she can realistically afford to spend helps make sales happen. A big part of the job is attracting buyers to the properties that you have listed. This is done through advertising, canvassing, and following up the leads. Although agents work for an agency, they are essentially an independent entity, and split any commissions with that agency. Because real estate agents are paid on a commission-only basis, you will, most likely, not see much in the way of income for the first six months. Use this training period to build your contact file and learn as much as you can about the market in which you are working. Remember, although you are working for a specific broker, you are actually running your own business and are responsible for generating your own income. The effort that you put forward will directly affect your earning potential. As a beginner, expect to start at the bottom and work your way up. You will be assigned the “graveyard” shift and be expected to make cold calls and follow up on leads. The name of the game is obtaining listings. When a property is sold, the agent who sells it splits the commission with the agent who listed it. If you sell a property that you have listed, obviously, you will make more money. You also may spend some time with another agent or broker, attending open houses and other events. As you build your reputation, you will get more referrals - both buyers and sellers - and potential customers will call you directly. Over time, your skills will get sharper and your closing ratio will increase. As your sales increase, obviously, so will your commissions. It is at this point that many people make the decision to take the next step in the business and become a broker. The duties of a real estate broker are similar to those of an agent. Brokers list and sell property but their duties also include supervising agents, advertising, and detail work of the agency. In order to open an agency, the proprietor must be a licensed broker. To become a broker, you must take advanced real estate courses as required by your state, and then pass another exam. As with agents, each state has its own rules and regulations regarding becoming a real estate broker. People will always need houses in which to live. A career in real estate offers individuals the chance to control their own financial destiny as well as to build entrepreneurial skills. There’s money to be made. All it takes is drive and ambition. The next step to a Great New Career is, you need to become licensed. Rowlett Real Estate School's pre-licensing course provides all the preparation you need. And we'll prepare you for the state test in as little as 2 weeks. You will receive a quality educational experience including all the knowledge and expertise necessary to fulfill all of your state's licensing requirements. Best of luck as you complete your educational and career goals. I will work hard to fulfill your future needs.

You managed to make the class interesting and fun, while covering all of the information that we would need to know to pass not only your test, but the state test as well. I am happy that I took the class and didn't try to do it myself, online, because I think that the interaction between the students and the teacher, helped me understand some of the key concepts and also helped me to remember them. Stories and examples help. Thanks again, Joan Captain Wayne, I passed my test!!! YEAH I traveled to Pensacola last Thursday to take the test. I am so excited to have this behind me and get to work. I have a few more offices I want to visit before making my final decision. Thank you so much for your expertise teaching skills!!! See you soon!"

"We have enjoyed ActiveRain helping us get a name out for our company."

"Today I received my first lead and client through ActiveRain. The person called and said they had been following my posts on another forum and recently also found my ActiveRain posts. They need to sell their house in a short sale situation right away in order to move out of state and asked me if I would be their agent and come list their house for them. It was quite a compliment to be called like that, and I'll work hard to get the house sold for them quickly. (Note) We successfully negotiated a short sale with the bank and saved the client from a foreclosure."

"Having being on ActiveRain for the past 10 years I have had much success with forming relationships with Realtors and New Clients. ActiveRain is a bridge to bringing information on real estate on a platform that is amazing. I am so proud and privileged to be a member of ActiveRain."

"I am enjoying the referral leads that come from Active Rain this year has been a banner start!"

"What a great idea, a chance to tell you all what Active Rain has done for me and my business. First off Active Rain has taught me how to connect to...well everyone. I have had clients google me and then read my Active Rain posts. They feel that they know me before we even meet. One of the greatest aspects of Active Rain is LOCALISM. It has been a wonderful tool to introduce clients moving here to our area. I have been able to post valuable resources and help them connect to just what they are looking for. Our local Chamber of commerce has even gotten involved and has started a site with similar features to connect the local business people and get us networking together. One of the most impressive things that Active Rain has done for me is to connect me to long lost family. Through my activity on Active Rain a cousin was able to find me that otherwise I may never have met. We are going to be getting together next Wednesday and I owe it all to Active Rain. Connecting people is where it is at.THANK YOU!"

"I love knowing that people read my blog. I love seeing the results of my posts I share online. I also want to say thanks for all the great classes and training that ActiveRain provides for us. It's great to be a part of such a wonderful group of professional associates."

""People trust me with their single largest asset. I take that responsibility very seriously. I give 110% because I know that their success is my success. I understand the need for open and constant communication from the moment we meet until the time we close our transaction. My hope is that my honest and ethical representation earns my clients' loyalty, lifelong friendship, and referrals to loved ones who may be seeking representation with a home purchase, sale, or lease.""

"If I had a success story, it would be Tthat I've enjoyed practicing real estate and get my energy from each closed transaction and seeing how the results of my work have a positive affect on people. That's Success."
